I'm thinking about doing an engine swap in my 87 Crx Si. I have a few questions. Firts: what engine would you recomend putting in? Second: what extra mods would I need to do to get it to fit? And lastly: should I just forget about it and get a 2nd Gen Crx Si? Thanks.

 

don't forget about it and get a newer one. a swap in your 87 is way more respectable.

Knows from experience....

 

First gen CRX's are the ish.

 

Ditto. If you already have the 1st gen. and have the resources to do a B series in it then definitely keep it. Sweet cars especially with a swap.

 

Well, besides the 1G being "the ish" as stated above, you can do a ZC swap if you're on a budget. If you have alot of money to burn, definitely go with a B16.

The brown top ZC is a direct bolt. If you want more indepth info, check out
www.redpepperracing.com/forums/, there is a bunch of us there who
have done the swap. Also an excellent source for other related 1G tech info.
